The Full Sturgeon Moon falls on August 19th at 11:26 AM PDT ( Arizona time).

This is known as the Full Sturgeon Moon due to the abundance of Sturgeons in North America’s lakes at this time of year. Since it is also harvest season, it is also called the Full Fruit Moon or the Black Berries Moon, and other such names.

We have a Full Moon when the Sun and Moon are in opposition astrologically. For this moon cycle the Sun is in Leo and the Moon in Aquarius is directly opposed the Sun at 11:26 am PDT. Leo is powerful, and is often impressing others and earning praise and admiration for a variety of achievements. Aquarius, on the other hand, has the power to bring about our bold spirit, offering us greater freedom from social norms, the judgements of others, and obligations that weigh us down. As a result, this Full Moon has to awaken hidden talents and provide revelations that free us from the barriers that hold us back.

Aspect-wise, there is a lot going on… an irrepressible urge for freedom vs the desire for commitment and security.

Please note that our Lughnasadh ceremony was on August 3rd on Facebook Live. The video is still available for replay on the Druids of the Light Facebook page. You can also find it under DOL Videos on my personal Facebook page: Linda Mae Costello. Our Autumn Equinox is scheduled for September 21st. More about that soon.

Classes are still in progress. If you would like to know more about them, please message me.

Sincere love and blessings to you during this Full Moon period!
